Stellar information

Stellar Coin is an open sourced decentralized protocol to transfer money in any pair of currencies.

For instance, Joe can send a USD transaction to Marie in Euro or Bitcoin seamlessly.
The way it works is by using Stellar as an intermediary currency for conversion between currencies. Money balance is maintained via a gateway, a network participant whom you trust to accept a deposit in exchange for credit on the network.

The Stellar's mission is to expand financial access and literacy worldwide.

Stellar Coin is a decentralized protocol for sending and receiving money led by Jed McCaleb from Ripple and the original founder of Mt. Gox.
